Q: Would I have to get my own lawyer for an appeal if getting sued by a car dealership?
A car dealership took my sister to court and they won. If she wants to appeal, would she have to get her own lawyer?
A: Tell your sister to call an appellate lawyer in Mississippi and ask them this important question.
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A:
Most likely, she would need to retain her own attorney to appeal. She should sit down with the attorney to discuss what the appeal could yield in terms of results. Appeals can be difficult and costly, and the outcome not always certain.
